"One big difference between the Rebel XS and the Nikon D3100 is that the Nikon D3100 is NOT 100% backwards-compatible with older Nikon lenses — while the Rebel XS works just fine with a large number of Canon and third-party lenses."
I personally don't consider loss of AF to be that big of a deal. The camera will still meter with the older AF lenses. Plus there is the fact that the D3100 can mount & shoot with the even older manual focus lenses, something the Canon can't do since Canon changed their mount when they went to AF. Thus one can use the older PRO quality MF lenses on the D3100 without the need for special adapters to be able to mount them. Granted, you won't have metering, but for most shooting, it's easy to just use the LCD & Histogram to fine tune a shot. I do this more often than not as my D70s won't meter with the NF lenses I use. Now when it comes to fast moving action shots, yes, it can be a disadvantage not having AF & metering, but for most photographic situations it's fine & has the added advantage of being able to use PRO quality MF glass at prices much less than the current AF versions go for.
Old manual focus lenses, even though really good, aren't usually supported by the manufacturer anymore. Not a lot of newcomers want to buy a really old lens that will be a PITA to service.
Canon has more FULL supported lenses right now, but we all know it comes down to preference.
BTW the D3X, Nikon's flagship model, does not have self cleaning.
